*Official* England in South Africa Thread

[Jono]

Can't really say it was a great decision from Aleem Dar when all he does is say not out every time.

Look up the word consistency

Even if he's wrong to do so?

 

[twctopcat]

Even after six wickets, our openers are still batting

Our???

There was clearly a wink there. I was being sarcastic oh honourable one.

Our???

I am a huge South African cricket fan.

Does that mean I can't talk about England being my #1 team?

I'll look up some other words for Aleem Dar if that plumb lbw he didn't give against Gibbs in the 30s turns out to be crucial...

Luck evens out in the end. No use thinking over what you cant change.

Not over a game it doesn't, and if you look at how many tosses Vaughan has won...

 

[tooextracool]

Heard it all before. He can only do this on that, he is not capable of that on this, all batsman and bolwers around the world play on different surfaces with different conditions, so to pick and choose is a bit of a waste of time.

yes they all play on different surfaces but it doesnt mean they can only score on one and not the other. hoggard of course has recently shown that he can provide a decent supporting role in conditions that dont suit him, quite frankly it was something that he wasnt doing before he last got dropped. he was always more than capable of being a strike bowler on a seamer friendly wicket, and the fact that hes done it before shows that his doing it again doesnt actually prove anything.

Okay then Indian fans should cry over the Bucknor decisions in Australia till they die.

Luck is a part of life. You have to stride over it to prove a better team.

 

[tooextracool]

anderson......what a waste.

 

[Mr Casson]

Ashley Giles!! Gibbs is gone!! Aleem Dar gave it LBW!!

MAGIC!!

It has indeed evened out. That was not out.

What are you going to do now? Kiss his feet?

 

[Mr Casson]

I wouldn't be so sure. And I wouldn't call Gibbs sticking around for another 30 overs or so 'evening out'. And by the laws of the game, Hawkeye says it's out.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Average decision by Dar there. It was touch and go in my view, too much doubt to give it out.

 

[Scaly piscine]

??????? He gives one (correctly) out hours late, so what?

Quoting cricinfo:

"One has to ask was Gibbs not too far forward??"

One has to wonder if anyone cares!!!!!
